Steep Teabags

For a more convenient and quick cup of tea, teabags are the perfect alternative to loose leaf tea. Our oversized silken teabag, as well as our double-chambered teabag both allow the tea to fully infuse and expand for optimal flavor. Each of our oversized teabags are strong enough to steep two cups of tea.

Step By Step

STEP 1

Pick your favourite.

Think about what the simple act of making and enjoying a cup of tea adds to your life. We go to great lengths to make the very best teas, using the highest quality ingredients and employing meticulous time-honed craftsmanship. Our goal is for you to be happy in the moment, savoring your cup of tea!

STEP 2

Heat to the exact temperature.

Use fresh, cold water for optimum flavor. Peak water condition is: low mineral, low chemical, and filtered with reverse osmosis. Heavy mineral water will render tea and herbs “flat”. Fast-flowing, glacial melt from high in the mountains during spring run-off would be the very best water for your palate.

Heat the water, being careful not to over-boil which results in stale-tasting tea. If you over-boil water, you lower the dissolved oxygen gas. Water temperature also has a profound impact on infusion quality; for example, unfermented (green) teas can be easily bruised by overly hot water which extracts too many tannic acids, rendering a bitter palate.

STEP 3

Let steep and remove teabag.

Pour the hot water over the leaves and steep as per the specific instructions for each varietal. Steeping times are the difference between a proper balance of flavors (as our blenders intend) and incorrect emphasis on certain flavor profiles of different ingredients. Remove the teabag and serve.
